I love the idea of making it easy for highly skilled foreigners to job shop because it's in my interest that they are paid competitively. It also imports people who create value and bring in additional tax revenue. I'm hesitant about the idea of merely tying green cards to STEM degrees because it does seem like the sort of incentive to yield unintended consequences. What sort of protections will there be to make sure universities don't water down their STEM programs? However, calling this a gigantic bailout to universities is an obtuse way to characterize it. A bailout is when you provide financial assistance to a failed institution. That's not what's happening here. This is a program that would attach new value to a STEM degree from a US university. Universities would certainly experience a windfall as they will be able to charge a premium for STEM programs, but don't confuse windfalls with bailouts.
